A triangle has sides of 10(x-1), (4x +14), and 22 in. The perimeter of the triangle is 82 inches. What is x?
I agree with Nikola. x=4. 82-22=60. 60/2 = 30 For 10(x-1) substitute x as 4. 4-1 = 3. 10(3) = 30. For 4x+14, 4(4)= 16. 16+14 = 30. 30+30+22= 82. Mary Thongleuth
I agree with Caleb and everybody else who said the answer was 4 because all you had to do was set up the equation 10x-10+4x+14=60. Then what you do is you combine 10x with 4x and combine -10 with 14.Then what you have left is 14x+4=60 which you divide 4 from 4 and 60. the you get 14x=56. Then divide 14x by 14 and divide 14 by 56 and you get x=4 SO X = 4
I agree with all the people who said that the answer is x = 4. If you do it step by step, you should have drawn a triangle, and for the sides, make one side 10(x-1), another side (4x+14), and make the last side 22. Next, you should add them all together: 10(x-1) + (4x+14) + 22 = 82. Distribute if needed. This equation should then come out to 10x-10 + 4x+14 + 22 = 82. Next, add like terms. This will come out to 14x + 26 = 82. Subtract 26 from each side. 14x = 56. Then divide both sides by 14. This will come out to x = 4.
Yes. I agree with all as well. x=4 Like terms added up comes out to the equation 14x+26=82 solve to 2step equation, subtract from both sides 14x=82 divide 82 by the number 14, leaving 14x canceled x=4
I agree with those before me because 82-22=60 making the equation 10x-10+4x+14=60 then after combining like terms is 14x+4=60 then you subtract 4 from both sides making 14x=56 then divide 14 from both sides thus concluding x=4
I also agree with Nikola and everyone. In order to find out what x is you first have to rewrite the problem in a equation, 10x-10+4x+14=60. Then you simplify it into a smaller equation 14x+4=60. Then you solve it. You need to subtract 4 from both sides and you get 14x=56. Then you divide 14 from both sides. Then you get 4. So that is my answer and the reason why I agree with nikola and everyone.
I agree with Nikola When you do 10x-10+4=60 Where i got the 60 from was 82-22 which equal 60 than now i add all the X together and the number so it be 14x+4=60. than you subtract 4 from both side so you can get x itself than you get 14x=54. Than you divide 14 from both side Where X=4.
10x-10+4x+14=60
ReplyDelete14x+4=60
-4 -4
14x=56
14 14
x=4
The answer would be 4.
I agree with Nikola but another way to do this is 10(x-1)=4x+14.
DeleteThe answer would still be the same, which is 4.
I agree with nikola because
Delete10x10+4x+14=60
+414x=56
-4 -4
14x=56
-14 -14
x=4
x=4 so there for the a
nswer would be 4.
I agree with Nikola . I found the answer by plugging in numbers.
Deletei agree with nick if you do it another way it would be the same answer x=4
Deletex would equal 2.8 because you don't have the x from 4 x to 14 and you divide the answer which would be 14 by 5. so x would be 2.8.
ReplyDeleteI agree with nikola but this is how I would have done it 10(x-1)=4x+14 then got x on one side then solve the equation and I would get 4
ReplyDeleteI agree with nikola to because he did the same exact way I did.So the answer is 4
ReplyDeleteI agree with Daivon and Cassandra. X is 4 and I know this because I used the equation 14x+26=82 and when I solved the equation the solution was 4.
ReplyDeleteI agree with nikola because x = 4 because (14*4+26=82)
ReplyDeleteI agree with Nikola. x=4.
ReplyDelete82-22=60.
60/2 = 30
For 10(x-1) substitute x as 4. 4-1 = 3. 10(3) = 30.
For 4x+14, 4(4)= 16. 16+14 = 30.
30+30+22= 82.
Mary Thongleuth
I agree with them because when you solve the problem x=4
ReplyDelete10x-10+4x+14=60 combine like terms.
ReplyDelete14x+4=60 subtract 4 from both sides of the equation.
14x=56
14x divided by 14 = x
56 divided by 14 = 4
x = 4
